Hi, just a word as one who works in many different  roles on OB besides as an 
LC. As a charge nurse, I can tell you that at our  hospital we would not 
allow a mom with a 4 month old on our floor. Even though  the baby would not be 
going to the nursery, we would not want a baby who has  came from the "outside" 
on our floor. We have a no children under the age of 14  unless he/she is a 
sibling policy. We currently have a women's unit for woman's  surgery pts. She 
would be able to keep the baby with her there with the  understanding that 
someone has to be there to take care of the baby. The same  would apply to other 
med/surg units.
